Taurus Investment Holdings has purchased two Class B communities in Orlando, Fla., for a combined $113.4 million. The properties are known as Legends at ChampionsGate and Summit at Metrowest.
According to Yardi Matrix, The Milestone Group sold both assets in separate transactions, while CIBC Bank USA provided financing for the acquisitions.
The 280-unit Summit at Metrowest sold for $59.5 million and received a $48.1 million acquisition loan. The 252-unit Legends at ChampionsGate commanded $53.9 million and received $43.3 million in funding, Yardi Matrix data shows.
Berkadia Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg and Associate Director Matthew Robbins secured the floating-rate, 3-year loan including interest-only payments for Legends at ChampionsGate.

The three-story Legends at ChampionsGate is located at 8101 Champions Circle and features a mix of one- to four-bedroom floorplans spread across 10 buildings. Common area amenities include a fitness and business center, clubhouse, tennis court, playground and swimming pool.
